Madness Signs a Deal for New Album and Catalog Rerelease


Seminal rockers Madness are very busy as they approach their 30th anniversary in the music industry. The group has signed a funding deal with Power Amp Music, who will assist the band with the release of their new album “The Liberty of Norton Folgate.” Their ninth LP will be released in 2009 via their own “Lucky 7” record label.

Power Amp Music has been formed to help artists fund and navigate the new music industry landscape.

“We recognize that established artists are now demanding more innovative and efficient financing solutions and we have built a robust, flexible and cost effective platform to provide such solutions,” explained company founder Tom Bywater. “When Power Amp Music invests in an artist, the artist retains control of their rights and enjoys total transparency on their finances.”

In addition to enlisting the aid of Power Amp Music, the band has also signed on with Union Square Music, a marketing firm that will represent their recording catalog. Over time, Madness plans to reissue their entire back catalog which kicks off with the 30th anniversary edition of the band’s smash dingle and LP “One Step Beyond.”
